late summer update

I found this in my drafts from last August, 2015. I'm posting it now in April 2016!

From August, With Love...

Haven't done anything about my website name. Not sure I like how the search engine appears either. Ideally it should be up top in the right hand corner. 

It's now 3am. I downloaded some stuff from my summer courses that I didn't during the last few weeks as I was sick and I archived the files for those classes. I then made new folders for my fall classes so it's ready to go on day one in two weeks.

I also started remaking in Photoshop the large joiner I had done of people in line last summer for a show curated by Katie Huisman, titled "being" at the Photohaus Gallery in Vancouver. It was so hot in the gallery during the few weeks that it was up that when show ended it actually fell apart during the night - I'm guessing the glue on the tape gave way due to the overall weight of over 600 photos pulling on each other over time. As it fell it broke into pieces and some photos ripped. Not wanting to deal with it as I knew it wouldn't be possible to remove the tape easily I let the gallery chuck it out.

But I never got good documentation of it installed - I had planned to photograph it at the end of the show before the takedown of the show hut because it was destroyed I was out of luck. I primarily shot the project with my iPhone as well as with my Sony RX100iii. As I shot them I would send to print at London Drugs. Then I spent a few days taping them to the wall. So I still have all the photos that it was made up of (and want to shoot more) but to have a copy I can print and put online I need to start from scratch essentially... so that's what I did... I started.  My plan is not to rush it and to do a bit everyday, until it's done. The new file I making is 14ft wide by 5ft high so it will be very long. I'll post photos of the original installation I shot with my iPhone at a later
